From my knowledge only the San Francisco Bay Area (20%) and Seattle (13%) were the only metro areas with Asian/Pacific Islanders being the largest minority population.
Honolulu by far, which around 46% Asian, 9% Pacific Islander.
Also I think Latinos slightly outnumber Asians overall in the Bay Area, less than 1% though so they are pretty much equal.
Actually now that I think about it Asians are not the minority in Honolulu but the majority. But a minority in the sense they are not white. I would also think Vancouver would be similar to Seattle's demographics with regards to Asians.
The San Gabriel Valley outside of LA, while obviously part of the broader LA metro area, is a heavily populated area that has a very high Asian population. Overall it's not the highest, although in certain cities within the valley Asian/Pacific Islanders are the largest group (although also minority only in the sense that they are not white). Outside of San Francisco, I believe the remaining 9 out of 10 cities in California with the largest Chinese populations are all located in the SGV.

Are there any other metro areas similar to those?

If you break it down by individual cities and suburbs you can find places where there are pretty high concentrations of Asians. For example, Garden Grove, CA is 31% Asian.

I thought Ithaca's Asian community made up about 16% of the city's population. There are quite a few just outside of Ithaca too.
Well to give you an idea of the Asian population out here in the Bay Area my hometown of Union City,Ca (15 min south Of Oakland) is 43% Asian.
